I want to listen for UDP packets on a specified port, say 20000, and redirect these packets to an external host, say user.domain.org:20000. I initially tried doing this with NAT and ipfw, but after posting a message on this list last week, it seems that the consensus is that this is not correct method. So, my question now is, what _is_ the correct method for setting up such a router? No need to give me step-by-step instructions, but if someone could point me in the direction to look at I would greatly appreciate it. FYI: I have an Win98 box with WinGate on it right now that is currently performing this exact same service (UDP Mapping with 1 NIC). For obvious reasons I would rather have my BSD box handling this. ;) Thanks! -Louis Valentine To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
